for me communication is very tiring, usually i don’t feel any need to communicate, but sometimes i have to and feel very tired after it.
sometimes i feel like i want to talk to somonene, but after 5min of chatting it becomes very boring.
i have a girlfriend and i like being with her, but also to some degree, usually this feeling dissapears right after sex.
some time ago it was hard for me to communicate because of social anxiety and i thought that was the problem, but recently i realized that its not interesting for me. i just dont have any urge to get to know people closer.
now i know that it’s not social anxiety because in formal relations work,or other i can communicate quite well, but when i have to just chat with someone i just don’t know what to say, cause i dont care about stupid things like cars or what was on some tv show last night and i usually dont want to get to know anyone.
i say usually because sometimes i like it but only when im in good mood and it’s not too long.
when im not feeling well, i just show them that i dont want to talk, but sometimes i put on a mask and pretend that im like others just to adapt to this stupid society, because it’s hard to keep a job when im like this, after some time everyone notices that im detached and starts looking strangely.
maybe it would be better if not my flat affect and poverty of speech, it makes things worse for me
I find it easy to communicate via internet, but in the real world I sometimes struggle to cope with a normal conversation pace. I have poverty of speech to some degree, also flat affect.
I was pretty self-centered and didn’t care to know other people intimately, especially in my teens. Gradually I have become more interested in other people’s stories, lifestyle etc but I still lack in that department.
Are you into movies or books? If you are passionate for one of these, you can find people with similar interests and talk about that. It would be less boring maybe…
Well I’m an introvert but I like communicating with someone I am close to. Otherwise as far as careers, I tend to avoid anything with too much public speaking/socialising. But I like people. I do.
Depends for me, some days I can communicate with anyone with little difficulty but a majority of the time I tend to give short responses that lead people to probably thinking I’m stuck up or something. I usually feel anxious because I don’t want to talk and yet someone can drone on and on about some topic I have little interest in.
People think something’s wrong with me (in the sense of mood-wise such as being panicked/distressed/even depressed) because of my reactions. I guess in a sense it’s good for me because most people don’t exactly interest me…but medicine makes it easier to be less irritated or bothered.
I really like communicating with others. I always need people around me. Unfortunately, people are usually not so much interested in me and I more often go talk to them than they come talk to me. In fact it’s really rare that someone come to see me to chat with me. Also, it’s a lot more easy for me to communicate via messages than with my voice. When I talk to someone, I’m often shy and I feel embarrassed to talk about me. I usually only ask questions to others about themselves.
Think it comes with both the meds and the sz. I have become a little better with recovery but feel kinda flat emotionally still from the meds. I like working alone. And my wife wants a little more attention than comes naturally to me.
well im not always like that, i like being with,her or other close people, but i get tired fast and sometimes Just need to be alone to recover my energy
very relatible, im also usually respond with some short phrase,and just walk away, sometimes words just stuck but sometimes i do,that on purpose to get away
I talk often and long. I’m from a grand line of talkers and it’s cool. Years ago I made a decision to talk or not to talk and I chose talk. I haven’t looked back at that decision since.
I think it helps. I think it’s good to be social because it puts you in some sort of perspective. Even if your a little off you have to be understood both intellectually and socially.
That is a great thing for something like schizophrenia! It helps me that I’m able to talk to most folk. It helps I find that interesting and even the schizophrenia helps me sometimes in dealing with conversations.
I’m just saying. I think it’s uber important to minimise symptoms and to feel connected! We all need to be connected!
I like people but I’m similar, I don’t like small talk/I don’t talk much. A guy at work gives me weird looks and says I look like I’m about to hit someone sometimes (jokingly) because I speak with no emotion and dont smile often. He knows I would never hit anyone though. I think it’s funny
